Unveiling the Unsolvable: 10 Supernatural Mysteries That Defied the Winchesters

Summary

The Akrida, powerful beings in the Supernatural universe, may not be gone for good, as there were many trapped in another reality waiting to be unleashed.

The Winchesters' timeline predates Supernatural by decades, suggesting that Sam's current timeline may remain unaffected, allowing him to lead a safer and happier life.

Even with Dean's demise, he may find it challenging to quit hunting supernatural creatures, as his quest for family in heaven led him astray. His history reveals a consistent difficulty in adhering to rules.

The first season of The Winchesters concluded in March 2023 and was subsequently canceled. However, this raises questions about the future of the entire Supernatural universe. Supernatural enjoyed a successful 15-year run, building a rich universe of interconnected stories and mythology before concluding with the final season in 2020. The intention behind The Winchesters was to serve as a spin-off, exploring the love story of Sam and Dean's parents, John and Mary Winchester. However, the season 1 finale of The Winchesters completely altered this premise.

Just like its predecessor, Supernatural, the storylines in The Winchesters were far from straightforward or linear. The Winchester brothers traversed various timelines and realms, including purgatory, heaven, hell, and beyond. Although The Winchesters did not end on a significant cliffhanger, it undeniably left ample room for the development of future stories in potential seasons 2 and beyond. With the conclusion of this chapter, there are certain mysteries within the Supernatural canon that will likely never see resolution.

10 Are The Akrida Gone For Good In Supernatural's Multiverse?

The Akrida were divine beings, created by God, with the purpose of bringing an end to all life should He fail to control his creations. In The Winchesters world, the Akrida possessed extraordinary powers such as immortality, invulnerability, and various other abilities, although they did have a few exploitable weaknesses. In the season finale, it appeared that the Akrida Queen met her demise when Mary Campbell crashed a car into her. However, it remains unclear if this truly marks the end. Despite the fact that the Impala, as an object from another world, was a vulnerability for the Queen, there were numerous Akrida trapped in another reality, awaiting their release when the Queen unleashes them.

The Akrida that resided within Joan Hopkins had already escaped from her realm prior to the events in The Winchesters. It is conceivable that, despite their collective consciousness, the remaining Akrida may have appointed a new Queen or found a way to survive without a direct connection to their Queen, particularly since she was trapped in a separate reality. It is quite possible that the Akrida could make a comeback in subsequent seasons, unleashing further turmoil upon the Supernatural multiverse.

9 Will Supernatural's Timeline Still Happen In The Winchesters' Universe?

According to Dean's explanation in the season 1 finale of The Winchesters, it is evident that he originates from an alternate timeline. While it is possible that he traveled through time and the multiverse, The Winchesters' events took place decades before Supernatural. This implies that The Winchesters' timeline occurred after Dean's death and before Sam, the sole surviving main character, lived out the remainder of his life.

With the immediate threat of the Akrida Queen neutralized and considering the extensive time it took them to penetrate other worlds previously, it is highly probable that Sam's timeline will remain unaffected. He can now enjoy the long and happy life that Dean desired for him. However, it is almost certain that The Winchesters' world will unfold differently. Dean intended to offer this alternate reality a chance to discover happiness distinct from his own. He entrusted John with his hunter's journal and provided Mary with the Colt, which had the capability to eliminate Yellow Eyes. Additionally, Dean ensured the defeat of Chuck and other malevolent forces by the conclusion of Supernatural. All factors considered, this timeline should be significantly safer and happier.

8 Does Dean Winchester Get To Actually Retire Now?

Dean, the quintessential hunter, was always compelled to move onward to his next case. Despite Sam's effort to encourage Dean to seek a tranquil life and retire, Dean grappled with relinquishing this way of life. His demise seemed to offer him the long-awaited opportunity to abandon the pursuit of monstrous creatures. However, it became apparent that even in heaven, Dean became entangled in his quest for familial connection, indicating that he is still ensnared in the game. Jack advises Dean to embrace the phase of finding respite - as the lyrics of the song suggest. Nevertheless, Dean has always faced challenges in adhering to rules, including those that hold reality together.

7 Did Dean Reunite With Castiel In Heaven (& What Is Their Relationship?)

The finale of Supernatural establishes the fact that Castiel resurrected himself after ascending to the position of god. In the final season, Castiel openly expressed his deep love for Dean. While it is uncertain whether Dean and Cas would have a joyous reunion in heaven, it is unlikely to be depicted now that both Supernatural and The Winchesters have come to an end. Throughout his life, Dean had numerous romantic relationships, all of which were with women. Therefore, it is challenging to imagine if they will ever enter into a romantic relationship. However, their friendship was forged through countless deaths, and it is highly probable that they will always hold a profound affection for one another.

6 Does Mary Campbell Get To Go To KSU?

Mary Campbell was accepted at Kansas State University prior to The Winchesters season finale, however, she opted to embark on a journey of self-discovery, free from the influence of the various alternative versions she encountered through the portal alongside Dean and the Impala. Should she and John choose to settle down in a specific location, Mary might very well decide to pursue her studies at the university. Their future is filled with endless possibilities, all thanks to the Winchester boys from the primary timeline of the Supernatural series.

5 Do John And Mary Quit Hunting After The Winchesters?

During their journey, they were granted the freedom to shape their own fate, as Dean had urged them to do. John received Dean's personal hunting journal, while Mary was entrusted with the colt, a weapon capable of vanquishing the yellow-eyed demon. However, were these gifts ultimately necessary? They had the option to employ both for self-defense and security, or they could have pursued their hunting endeavors without them.

4 Do John And Mary Find And Kill The Yellow-Eyed Demon?

In Supernatural, the tables turn as it is the yellow-eyed demon who finds John and Mary instead of the other way around. With stealth, the demon infiltrates their family home and taints infant Sam with Demon blood. Armed with the extensive knowledge that Dean acquires through his hunting experience and the weapon needed to annihilate this malevolent entity, John and Mary possess their strongest opportunity to safeguard their family against the wicked demon.

3 Did Rowena Find Crowley After Her Winchesters Cameo?

In The Winchesters season 1, Rowena appears briefly. She presents Ada with a powerful crystal capable of slaying the Akrida Queen. In return, Ada trades Rowena a special plant that possesses a demon captive. Rowena believes that obtaining information about her son from this demon is crucial. During this time in the Supernatural timeline, Crowley remains a crossroads demon, harboring nothing but contempt for his mother. However, there is a possibility that Rowena could ultimately locate him, leading to a vastly different relationship between them compared to what is depicted in Supernatural.

2 Can Dean Winchester Visit Any Universe Now?

Armed with an Impala and a heavenly road, it seems that Dean possesses the ability to seamlessly navigate between different dimensions. As revealed in the series finale of The Winchesters, Dean embarked on a quest to find his family. Jack playfully reprimanded Dean for involving himself in a particular timeline, but did not imply that he could no longer freely journey across various universes. While patiently awaiting his brother's arrival in heaven, it appears that Dean now has the power to traverse the multiverse at his own discretion.

1 Where Are Carlos & Lata In The Main Supernatural Universe?

Despite the close bond between John, Mary, Carlos, and Lata, they are not mentioned or seen in Supernatural. The show introduces various old friends of the elder Winchesters, but it also portrays a significant number of deaths in the hunter community. John and Mary refer to some of their long-standing friends, which suggests that Carlos and Lata may not have survived for long after the events of The Winchesters during Sam and Dean's era. However, in The Winchesters' timeline, it is conceivable that they lived longer lives, benefiting from the knowledge recorded in Dean's journal. Nevertheless, without a reboot of the main Supernatural series, it is unlikely that we will ever receive a definitive answer.
